Tall and a big arm but that’s about it. Is that enough? Maybe or maybe not.

One way to do it is to stick the QB hard on every read option play – whether he keeps the ball or not. See, that is legal because technically he is a runner on those plays. No “Tom Brady” rule there!

I give it another year, tops! Just like the Wildcat.

He was inconsistent at NC State, but I’m sure an NFL coach thinks he can fix that. And I’m sure that NFL coach will get himself fired like his college coach did if he hangs his hat on doing that.

Not a long shot to think that this guy isn’t Peyton Manning.

Sat, 09 Mar 2013 17:26:32 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1809765#comment-2377368Being a life long NCSU fan, I can tell you that mechanically, Glennon is as sound as they come. His problem is that he is a stationary target panics under duress. I don’t wanna say the classic passer is dead, but the guy looked at as the best today, is very mobile. He is Aaron Rodgers.

Any guy who has zero mobility is in trouble, as defensive speed increases every year. Who would you take Russell Wilson or Gleenon? Well, Wilson never played spring ball because of baseball. Glennon still couldn’t beat him out.

I recall when Russell left a baseball game, still in uniform, changed into football gear and won spring red/white game, then went back to play baseball again, in the same day.

Glennon will play, but I don’t see him starting. He lacks the requisite skill-set for today’s game.

I like this kid without ever seeing him play.

Sat, 09 Mar 2013 16:49:46 +0000http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/?p=1809765#comment-2377290Dont know why people think the read option is just a fad,, if you know football then you would know why the R/O is so difficult to stop especially how the Skins run it, they leave the end rush man basically unblocked or in a no-mans land type of situation, and forces him to make a decision ,unfortunately when most people make a decision while in the middle of something they stop and think and thats where the problem lies its not with the formations and packages its with the defensive players decision making, in the wildcat you knew what would happen they snap it to a rb playing qb and he’ll run the ball, with the R/O theres so many possibilities and the D has to think about all those possibilities when the ball is snapped. As far as injuries go RG3 got hurt because he was stubborn, other than him Russell Wilson didnt get hurt, Kapernick didnt get hurt, Cam Newton didnt get hurt ,because the later three play smart RG3 will learn how to play smart. also
